Data generation and replication instructions for "Does poverty undermine cooperation in multiethnic settings? Evidence from a cooperative investment experiment."

----------------------------------------------------------

Data generation:

The data for this project was collected on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk with an app programmed in Python using the oTree framework (Chen et al. 2016). 

The original data was generated as .csv file and transferred into .dta format for analysis. 

All collected data is included in the datasets except for personal identifiers of respondents. Where data was recoded, this is described in the .do-file. 


----------------------------------------------------------

Replication: 

To replicate the analyses in the paper, download the datasets and the .do-file and set the working directory to the folder containing the datasets. Then run the .do-file.


----------------------------------------------------------

Files:

poverty_cooperation.do: .do-file to carry out analysis

pc.dta: Main data file 

pc_nt.dta: Additional data collected with CIG without time dimension
